So pretty soon I'm going to start plotting for BG (Battery Girl, for anyone (everyone) who's not familiar with my characters, link for joo), and typically what I do with BG in particular (because she's my main and I use her almost everywhere) is I develop her character over time until she reaches a point where she's faced with big changes, decisions, and personal issues. This usually turns out in roughly three ways (I'll get to that) but always make for fun rping and character development! Anyway, I won't bore you with all the details. Sicily meets her father, finds out she has a sister, lots of science, some mental breakdowns, electricity, dramatic family fights, all that boring stuff will happen. <3 What I'm wondering here is, what should my end goal be here on this site? I like to think of BG's plots as sorta-like stories? Where like, at the end, it's not like she dies or goes away or anything, but she's a changed person and it's like the end of one chapter of her life and the start of the rest of her new life, y'know? But I totally never really know which way to go with her sometimes until like the very end and then it's a big problem because I have to do updates to her character that should have been ready by that point and uuuuugh so much work. So as I'm getting ready to start plotting I'll do the smart thing and put up a poll to help me figure out what I should aim for. Because I love all of you and I know you all love polls. <3
So! Here's the breakdown of what usually happens by the end of BG's story. She reinvents herself, for personal or unavoidable reasons typically, and she becomes a lessannoying unrealistic person as a whole, personality-wise. Typically goes three ways...
I could also do something new ;O Because I am an Aggie and we Aggies are fairly creative when it comes to our mains *nod* so help an Aggie out? I actually made this poll so you can choose two things if you want, because if you're as indecisive as I am about rping then it might come in helpful
Questions comments and concerns abound below or where ever please. Thanks so much for taking the time to look at this by the way. Love you. Mean it. <3

- She reaches her 'full potential' and becomes Voltessa, a far more pure electricity-oriented metahuman (literally), because [long boring plot]. Voltessa is normally not exactly the nicest person in the world, but she's not mean or a baddie either. She uses her powers as she sees fit to met out some even-handed, indiscriminate justice (as opposed to BG who'd do anything for a close friend or family). Voltessa tends to be a lot less trusting and a lot more wise than the other outcomes, due to [long boring plot]. Sorta sometimes doesn't consider herself human either because of [long boring plot], so there's that. o.o
- She kinda reaches the opposite of her 'full potential', and becomes Potato Girl, who's basically takes the 'Battery' in Battery Girl up to eleven... thousand. She gains the power to absorb and conduct a LOOOOOT more energy, but loses... just about everything else. She becomes wheelchair confined and near-completely paralyzed, due to [long boring plot]. She doesn't speak much, gets tired out very easily and usually just sorta avoids people in general where she can. One of my e-buddies dubs her 'Broken Battery Girl' because of that >_>; I typically pair her up with someone(s) when I go this route to make sure she's take care of. It's basically still Battery Girl, personality-wise, but a lot less outgoing, and a lot less vocal.
- She kinda loses it, starts on a crazy downward spiral, and eventually becomes Iconica, who's admittedly one of my favorites to play (they all are, but she's funny) because she's just sorta crazy in some ways >_> but um. Iconica's powers are just as unstable as she is, with her electricity at that point unraveled to ionic discharges. So a little bit about Iconica, she blames everything and everyone (including herself) for how her life has turned out, and is a bit of an iconoclast (and calls her ion powers her 'ionoclasm') and a proper nutcase xD She just sorta doesn't like anything and or anyone that she can possibly blame for [long boring plot] happening to her, and I guess in this case since BG as she is now is a Titan, they'd be pretty high up on the list.
